In the interview, our team discussed trends they are seeing in their practices across the globe and how we support businesses prepare for constantly shifting environments. We have seen an increased need for careful assessment of risks and opportunities in a highly global and uncertain environment. Political, economic, and social factors change faster now than they ever have before. Private equity has also become increasingly popular as PE fundraisings have increased. Funds now engage us to provide an initial pre LOI view on the potential target to differentiate their own bids.
Real Deals: Where would you say that you offer the most value to private equity? When are you typically engaged in a deal process and what work are you most often asked to produce?
Tom Bottomley: Most of our studies provide visibility of the complex supply chains: the end product use and prospects; the attitudes of the ultimate customers; and the market dynamics beyond the distribution chain. We are particularly strong in international projects in automotive, mobility, infrastructure, building products, materials, heavy equipment and industrials, where our multilingual capabilities, spread across three continents, is a significant advantage.
